Committee on Freedom of Association

The Committee on Freedom of Association is a body established by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to promote and protect the rights of workers and employers to freely associate and form organizations, such as trade unions. It examines complaints from countries regarding violations of these rights and provides recommendations to ensure compliance with international labor standards. The committee plays a crucial role in fostering dialogue between governments, employers, and workers to enhance labor rights, promote social justice, and improve working conditions globally. Its mission is to ensure that everyone can join or form organizations without fear of discrimination or retaliation.
